Query of Queries Issues

I have the following query, does not seems to work i am using CF10. it is showing nothing:

<cfquery name = "qryCPTDetails" datasource=#request.DSN# >
      SELECT response as response FROM table WHERE PFORMID=
      (SELECT MAX(PFORMID) FROM pForms WHERE patientId=#patind# and formId=11)
</cfquery>
<cfdump var="#qryCPTDetails#">
<cfquery name = "qryCPTDetailsPending" dbtype="query">
      SELECT * from qryCPTDetails
where #GetToken(response,2,'ü')# = 'pending'
</cfquery>

string is like this

</cfquery>

thanks but this is not a related answer, my question why CF functions does not inside cfquery, i know they work, but why not in CF 10. Maybe i am missing something

query of queries have very limited allowed functions. You can't even do things like

left(response)

What are you trying to do?

I think the closest you can get is to use LIKE. Don't forget QoQ's are case sensitive too

WHERE  lower(response) LIKE <cfqueryparam value"%üpendingü%" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">

Yep. IIRC, the only functions QoQ's supports are:

* UPPER()
* LOWER()
* CAST()

Maybe one more, but nothing else.

ok, that is limitation of QoQ, why i am unable to use the function inside the cfquery which uses the datasource

ok, i think i missing something here :

SELECT {fn Left(Title, 50)} As ShortTitle
FROM mytable

Left is also a CF Function and Left is also in sql [so probably it is referring to the scalar function which is present in sql]

correct me if i am wrong

_agx_

Correct. Though they both have left() functions, that statement is using your database's left() function - not the CF #left()# function.

SidFishes

Not that it really matters but I'd point out that my answer that QofQ can't do that is correct....

_agx_

I agree with Sid. The question was "what's causing this error". The correct answer is QoQ's don't support it. My remarks just elaborate on that, but the correct answer was already given.
